very end of the spit. <\/strong>This sandy promontory, formed by the action of sea currents and wind, separates the Bay of Gda\u0144sk from the open Baltic Sea. At its narrowest point, it measures only 150 meters, while at its widest, it reaches up to 3 kilometers. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>It is located in the northeastern part of Poland in the Pomeranian Voivodeship and provides strategic protection for three large cities \u2013 Gda\u0144sk, Gdynia, and Sopot.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n<p>Thanks to its location, <strong>the peninsula offers two completely different coastlines:<\/strong> the northern one is wilder, with windier weather and rougher waves, while the southern side, facing the bay, is calmer and warmer \u2013 ideal for families with children.<\/p>\n\n<p>So, if you are planning a holiday on the Baltic Sea in Poland, the Hel Spit is an excellent choice, whether as <strong>the destination for your entire holiday or as a day trip from the nearby Tri-City<\/strong> (Gda\u0144sk, Gdynia, Sopot).<\/p>\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1<strong>TIP: <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/poland-best-places-holiday-3\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/dovolena-v-polsku\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vacation in Poland by the sea<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Hel.jpg\" alt=\"Hel Peninsula\" class=\"wp-image-95011\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Hel.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Hel-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Hel-700x368.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Hel-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Hel-696x365.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hel Peninsula<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_Go_to_the_Hel_Peninsula\"><\/span>When to Go to the Hel Peninsula? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Before you set off, it&#8217;s good to know <strong>when is the best time to visit the Hel Spit.<\/strong> The Polish Baltic Sea coast has specific climatic conditions that determine when is the ideal time for a seaside holiday.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>The most suitable period for swimming is peak summer \u2013 July and August.<\/strong> In these months, the water temperature in the Baltic Sea is <strong>around 20-21\u00b0C<\/strong>, which is quite pleasant for a northern sea. <strong>Air temperatures in summer range between 22-27\u00b0C<\/strong>, and can even reach 30\u00b0C.
